What is collagen and how does laser skin brightening help to boost collagen production?

Collagen is a protein found in the skin that provides structure, strength and elasticity. Laser skin brightening works by stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, which helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin texture and tone. This contributes to a more youthful and radiant appearance. In addition, collagen can help keep the skin hydrated, resulting in smoother-looking skin. Laser treatments are a safe and effective way to improve collagen production for brighter, more even-toned, healthy-looking skin.
